Some time ago, I took a picture of a woman holding her umbrella while waiting under the bus shelter.

Woman with umbrella at bus stop

She needed double protection from the rain.

Then today. It was hot and sweltering afternoon, and I was walking under the sheltered walkway because I didn’t want to walk under the blazing sun, even though the sheltered route was much longer.

Then I noticed this girl walking in my direction under the same sheltered walkway. And she was holding her open umbrella. This time it’s double protection from the sun. (I so regret not taking her photo.)

Only Asians do this kind of thing.

Westerners, on the other hand…

Caucasians baking themselves

Drinking, smoking, chatting, and otherwise baking themselves. I won’t be surprised if they spontaneously combust.

Spotted at the end of the same sheltered walkway.
